Life Lessons

"Don't go in there." "Why mommy?" "Because I say so, now get away from there."Has your parents ever said that to you? Did you not like that they said it and went ahead anyway? I did and every time I regretted it. Therefore, I have come to the conclusion that Mom is right most of the time. I know it sound cleeshay, but it is true, in my case at least. What happened, most recently, was that I was doing my homework and it was about 9:30 PM. Since i shower at night, Mom told me to go shower then and get back to my homework. Determined to get my homework done first I refused to listen to her, and by the time I got into the shower it was past eleven. The problem with that, however, was that my dad and my brother were asleep upstairs And Our showers make a lot of noise. I didn't want to wake them up but I had to get my shower in. I felt so bad for potentially waking my family and knew my mom was right.
I've thought about it a lot since than as a reminder. Whenever my mom asks me to do something that I think is ridicules or am convinced is not the best choice this lesson comes to my mind. I don't want to disappoint my mom or make her distrust me. This lesson helps me to take time to think about what I am going to say and with the extra time to think I end up saying "Yes mam" instead of asking "Why" and the situation turns out so much better. My parents are most often right because they are older and more experienced. God helped me see this and I continually thank him for it. I believe God has given his wisdom to the older generation to give to us. Praise God!
